# Underlairs vs VibeFocus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Underlairs at 8 against VibeFocus's 1. Underlairs also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Underlairs sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and VibeFocus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Underlairs against 5.0 for VibeFocus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Underlairs has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Underlairs ships an update every 3 weeks, VibeFocus every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
